Al Mare Grill

Al Mare Grill is a grill restaurant in the Rocca Al Mare area in Tallinn. What stood out to me in the menu were Asian inspired dishes and twists on rather regular menu items.

Salmon, wokked vegetables with shrimp, and butterfish, dressing on the side

Croquets and side salad, unsqueezable slice of lemon

I chose to share a Fish grill mix for two (Kala grill-mix kahele) that had a grilled salmon skewer, butterfish, wokked vegetables with shrimp, and a dressing on the side. I also ordered croquets (kroketid) as a side dish. That came with a fresh salad.

The fish was very well seasoned and had a lovely smoky flavour, the dressing had pickles, and worked very well with both the fish and the croquets, which were nice and crispy. The salad on the side had an interesting herb dressing, but the salad itself wasn't that intriguing with a few leaves, half a cherry tomato, and three olives. The wokked vegetables, however, were a disappointment. The vegetables used didn't seem wok-worthy and looked like a cold salad, the shrimp were probably frozen and didn't give much to the vegetables. The fish platter cost 17,50€, which in my opinion was overpriced, the croquets were 1,90€.

Final verdict: 7 out of 10. They seem to know their grilling and dressings, but it seems to be better to steer clear from vegetables and salads. At first it took a while to be handed menus (it was not that busy, but I was also hungry and impatient), overall service was good and quick. Prices may be too high for some dishes.
